find the buried cache in the clearing and remind them that
Toris’ involvement must remain secret.
Sir Edric Quarne
Unless they are meeting in private, the PCs should act
as if they do not know Toris or anyone connected to him.
What the PCs do not know is that Toris’ secret patron Sir
Edric is a landed knight. Unless the PCs are equal rank or
have a powerful benefactor, Edric can deny the party’s
claims of the meeting as slander against one of his house-
hold (or their possession of the will as theft) and will likely
be initially believed.

Roleplaying Opportunities
If the PCs have finished the canon adventure, 100
Bushels of Rye, Edric will instruct Toris to change his re-
cruiting pitch if the PCs seem to be loyal to Sheriff
Harabor. This variation includes that Toris has learned
that Telin the Red has been using Henewes as a base of
operations and that setting fire to the village (without

Bringing in the Players
Ideally, Sir Edric is looking for literate strangers of low
or middle birth (such as yeomen or mercenaries) that do
not hail from Meselyneshire (perhaps the PCs). Sir Edric
wants loyal individuals who can minimize bloodshed and Toris of Jarat
keep his identity secret. He plans on using Toris of Jarat,
Goffin’s teamster, as a middleman in order to keep his pa-
tronage deniable.
By choosing a member of his household as the go be-
tween, Edric’s plan is however naïve enough to later con-
nect him with the PCs. Toris will likely try to recruit the
PCs in Olokand while they are there in Larane for the
Royal Chelebin Tournament of Chivalry or when the Fur
Road caravans pass through. This is likely a chance en-
counter in town for the PCs. Sir Edric tells his teamster,
Toris of Jarat, to meet the PCs in secret in the stables of
the Kald & Castle Inn. During this meeting, Toris will tell
the PCs the background, hint at the plan, loan them Sir

Hiding the Will

After the document has been cre-
ated, the PCs must hide the document.
It should be hidden somewhere Sir
Edric can chance upon it. Toris may
suggest hiding it in Honelon of Udibis’
office, the local litigant in Olokand who
is a pompous man of later years. One
spot is in a stack of trade agreements
and contracts, of the type of work the
high-priced Honelon frequently prac-

succeed in diverting the attention of the
litigant or his three apprentices. Due to
